Mrs. ABRAHMS (Venezuela) (fnterpretation frcxa Spmksrh) : With regard to draft resolutiw aJ4O/L.41 dealing vPth the Intcrnatiaxal Peace Conference on the Middle East, sty delegation kPPevea that @uch a ccmfesence could contribute to bringing peace in the mgban, provided a number of conditiarne acceptable to the parkies concern& in the conflict were met.

Also, we feal that a change sf attitude is taking place mmget the countries: @ancern& in the situation - sowthing that has been expressed by wcot of the delegations that t-k part in the generrtl debate on the Middle east and 8x1 the question of PaPeatine. Hawever my delegation abstained in the vote on the eighth preanbular paragraph of draft resoPutfan A,4&%.41 beuauoe we believed that we couPd not single out one PaPtfcular State es being sslely responsible Eslr the tecrorist activities in the reqion. A series of Pactars have contributed to the ptesent state sf eanflict in (Mr. Mangwazu, Malawi) khat. one of the parties is not prepared to parkicipate in an international peace conference. As 8 result,'w feel that another arekhod, one which is agreeable to all patties to the dispute, should be adopted. We therefore regard any endorsement for an bnternational peace conference as negative. That is why my deleqation abstained in the vote on that draft resolution. We Vated fn favour of draEt; rcsoPutions A/40/&.24 and L.25, with the understanding and the hape that any information gathered and disseminated will be RS objective as possible, We realise the importance of dissewinatian of information on the questton of Palestfbie. On draft nesolution A/40/l&41, we are very concerned over the paragraph5 an which separate votes were taken. We felt that if the Unikad Natisns ijeze to be effective in acting a5 arbiter to the ptoblem~ confronting Member States, it was necessary that we should he as neutral as possible. I believe those paragraphs are partisan, particularly the eighth preambular paragraph which is also in a certain way pxovmative towards one party. Hence we voted against it. with rqard to opexative paragraph 5, again we feel that the insinuatdon in it is not constructive. AS a r@5Ult, we abstained in the vote on the draft resolution as a . whole. Mr. ZAMANXNIA (Islamic Republic of Iran) (interpretation from Arabic): My delegation takes exception to the uze oE the term “Government of Israel”. We believe that Israel should withdraw from all the lands occupied in Palestine. me I’=SfMW (Merpretation fr~ln Spanfsh)~: Pn canfordty with resolution 3237 (xxSx) of 22 ~ovem&er 1974 of the twenty-ninth sessfsn of the General AGse~bly, X now call on the Observer of the Palerrt;inc I&eratfon Organkzation (PLO) who has requested to make a state?nrent. Mt. TEWX (Palestine Liberation Qrganizatisn) : Another year paslses. The tragic conditions under; whfch out people live conWwe. The Israeli terrorist acts against our people continue in their own homes. And yet we ~6111~3 here to hear SBB~ statamants by ~~(08 pauple who even refuse to listen to what we say. Those who have objected to the eighth preambular paragraph refuse to take note of the position of the Palestine Li&eration Grganization. They were not asked to pass judgement on that. They wexe just asked to take note of what we say. And this is our position. This was declared very clearly fram the rostrum in this Assembly. Therefore, f am really suqrised that some people use that as a pretext when they wanted to assert that they refuse to listen. Others have referred to the monetary implications and allocations, whatever they are. Those people are really penny-wise. The General Aasembly will be voting on allocating almost $12 million px month ta a peace-keeping force in south Lebanon. The United Nations will he allocating $12 million p@r month to address only one of the derivatives of Israel’s aggression against: Lebanon. Yet, when it comes to about $250,000 or $3OQ,OQO a am-&h in order to rectify the situation, to redress the inju&ice and tie service for the cause of peace, we are tc2l.d this is wasting mmey. We r\re also told that there is only one road to peace and that one road to peace is direct: negotiations. Is it not for direct negotiations that we come to the security Council, srhere al-l. the parties TV the Arab-Israeli conflict sit together in the Secut-LVy Council, vhase message and mission is to maintain (Mr. Terzi, PId3) intetrnatioml peace? Choue wbacs speaking about one road to peace and ahout dfrect negotiationa have it vary-clear in thair minds that the Palestinian people do not exist, that the Palestinian wle have no right to self-deteraination, and that the Security Caunofl should not he involved. Poe: usI this is nothing hew in the policy of the Unit& State& Xt was clearly stated, aud is to he found in the seoret documents of the United States of 1947, where instructions were given that the question of Palestine should not be brought to the Security Wmcil. otherwise, the United States, faithful to its comitaJtent to Article 25 of the CCartter, would have had to implement that partition decision. This is to be found in Foreign Relations of the United States, 1947, voitme 5. iin& one cari easily find then7 cm pages X3, L4, 1957 ad Z2W. Even before the deoioion on partitioning my country was taken@ the United States s&de it very clear that it \ieruld not permit the implementation of pmtition. Yet, they still apeak to us about direct negotiations without specifying with whom. fs it not only reasonable that direct negotiations should be wfth the direct victim and the principal party to the conflict9 Yet, we ame told that resolution 242 (1967) and resolution 338 (1973) are the bw~fs. f do not want to keep repeating. Even the United States, in 1978, from this very rostrum, told us that: resolution 242 (1967) does not address the political dimension of the Palestinian problem. Then uhy should we halve resolution 242 (1967]? What are we deal.Fng with? Ps it not 81 political issue a8 well? Yet we are told that resolution 242 (1967) iS the basis. Then sameMy tells UR that the Jsrdanian-Rale@tlnian accocd has not been secocded. 1 thought that our hsad of delegation, Mt. Knddoumi, made it very clear in his statement.
